Does anyone have a copy of the softcopy library collection that covers ANY version of VSE?
If so, where / how can I get a copy?

OR... perhaps you're using a version of Hyperion 4.3 that doesn't have the PIC 12 fix? (committed on 6/16/2020):

Revision: a774fc6fd5ae72a1d70aa8f7812d3dcfc7719f8b
Author: Fish (David B. Trout) <fish@...>
Date: 6/16/2020 5:07:19 PM
Message: Translation Specification PIC 12 (temporary?) fix
Refer to GitHub Issue #275(*) for details.

Please provide a COMPLETE Hercules log showing the *exact* version of Hercules you are using (v4.3.9999 is not an exact version; you need to build from a git clone of the repository, not from the .zip source file) as well as a complete copy of your Hercules configuration file.

It would also help to know the exact version of z/VSE you're using (and where you got it from!) as well as what the exact version of VM you're using too (and where you got it from).

Thanks.

(*)

Yes, the problem was reported against z/OS 2.4, but the bug is not specific to any particular operating system. It was a bug in our Address Translation logic which would affect any operating system using DAT, including z/VSE.

Re: NOTAUTH abend in CICS with VSAM

 

it WORKS!
I needed to add a RSL=PUBLIC parameter to the FCT entry for my file, it bypasses security check and eliminates NOTAUTH error

thank you for helping and giving hints

Good day to all,

I created a VSAM KSDS dataset and i can read and write it in batch, if i try the same on CICS (EXEC COMMANDS) i get a misterious NOTAUTH error, even with CECI transaction in CICS. There is very little on Google about it, does it ring a bell to you? Can someone point me to the right direction?

Thanks in advance.


Re: Possibly a FAQ: FCOBOL and VSAM?

 

Hi René,

Thanks for the help. I haven't had the chance to go back and retrofit the VSAMIO stuff into my program, but your example compiles and runs cleanly, so I think that's the ticket.

I'll keep an eye out for your next video.

Thanks again,
Robert

Subject: [H390-DOSVS] Possibly a FAQ: FCOBOL and VSAM?

Hi all,

I've been playing around with the DOS/VS 5-pack running under the VM/370 6-pack on Hercules.

I have an FCOBOL program that will take cards representing books on my bookshelf and insert them into an ISAM file. I've already got the same code working against a VSAM file through the ISAM Interface Program.?

Now I'd like to take the mask off and change my FD statement to tell FCOBOL that no, really, this is a VSAM file after all. But I am getting compile errors.

Code:
020135? ? ?SELECT OUTFILE? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
020137? ? ? ? ?ASSIGN TO SYS012-BOOKS? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
020138? ? ? ? ?ORGANIZATION IS INDEXED? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??
020140? ? ? ? ?RECORD KEY IS OUTFILE-ISBN? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
020141? ? ? ? ?FILE STATUS IS CHK.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??
Compile errors:
17? ? ?ILA1132I-E? ? ?INVALID SYSTEM-NAME. SKIPPING TO NEXT CLAUSE.
19? ? ?ILA1017I-E? ? ?FILE INVALID IN RECORD CLAUSE. SKIPPING TO NEXT CLAUSE.
The syntax was lifted directly from page 143 of the DOS/VS Cobol Programmers Guide:??

Thinking the compiler wanted the device class and type, even though the manual says they are for documentation purposes only, I changed the name to?SYS012-DA-2314-BOOKS. I get fewer errors, but it still doesn't compile:

?17? ? ?ILA1141I-C? ? ?FILE ORGANIZATION FIELD INVALID IN SYSTEM-NAME.? SEQUENTIAL ASSUMED.
?17? ? ?ILA1015I-E? ? ?SYS012-DA-2314-BOOKS INVALID AS EXTERNAL-NAME. IGNORED.
?17? ? ?ILA1017I-E? ? ?ORGANIZATION INVALID IN SELECT CLAUSE. SKIPPING TO NEXT CLAUSE.
I went back through the old mailing list messages, because something jogged my memory about VSAM not being supported under the FCOBOL compiler in the DOS/VS 5-pack, but I couldn't put the pieces together to confirm or deny.

Before I waste a couple of days on this, am I on a fool's errand? Am I stuck with just using the ISAM interface?

Thanks for any advice.

Regards,
Robert Corrigan

Hi Robert,

I've never written any Cobol (my first language for Fortran on DOS on a 360/40), but looking at the manual page that you referenced, it has 'SELECT OUTREC', but your code has 'SELECT OUTFILE'. I know that might be a red-herring, but it's a difference that stood out to me.

Hope you get it solved.

Re: Possibly a FAQ: FCOBOL and VSAM?

 

Hello Robert,
?
FCOBOL does not support VSAM datasets to my knowledge. But you can use the VSAMIO package that Jay Moseley wrote for the MVT COBOL compiler. You may go to this address: https://geronimo370.nl/vm6pext/dos-vs/ and download the VSAMIO zip at the bottom of the page to get a job that installs Jay's assembler module. The archive contains a job to assemble VSAMIO on the 5-pack, an other one to catalog the VSAMIO copy books, and an example of a FCOBOL program that loads records into a VSAM KSDS cluster. There are many examples of VSAMIO usage on Jay's site. You may e-mail me for more info if you wish.
